There's a degoogled chromium you can use as backup if you like.

Building a browser from source every security update sucks.

It's just a normal application??

I use Arch and Debian and I don't think I ever had to build ungoogled chromium from source before (unless I wanted to, which I didn't).

The AUR binary is newish (1yr old).

It wasn't there last time I gave ungoogled-chromium a shot.
